Duke researchers link bladder nerve cell overgrowth to persistent pain after recurring UTIs, suggesting a new approach to managing symptoms.
Researchers at Duke University have found that an overgrowth of nerve cells in the bladder may be responsible for persistent pain after recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs).
This overgrowth of nerve cells is caused by immune cell activity that promotes the growth of pain-sensing nerves in the bladder.
The study's findings, published in Science Immunology, offer a potential new approach to managing symptoms of recurring UTIs, which could reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.
